The Pope County Sheriff’s Office (PSCO) continues to investigate a string of burglaries after taking three suspects into custody Thursday night, Pope County Sheriff Aaron DuVall said.

The three suspects, whose names have not been released, are believed to be involved in three burglaries Wednesday night on the Pottsville side of Crow Mountain and two Monday and Tuesday north and east of Atkins.

The suspects, who were reported to have been driving an all-white Ford Expedition, were located late Thursday on Crow Mountain.

“Myself and the chief deputy just happened to be driving around in the area and happened to drive up on them,” DuVall said. “The chief deputy is the one who spotted the vehicle first, and he radioed myself and some other law enforcement and we proceeded to the area he was at.”

DuVall said the PCSO partnered with Arkansas State Police, Atkins Police Department and an Arkansas constable in the arrest. He added items that had been stolen from different residences in the area were located when the arrests were made.

The burglaries are still under investigation and the PCSO is looking for other suspects, who may be in Conway or Faulkner counties, DuVall said.

The three suspects arrested Thursday will appear in felony bond hearings at Pope County District Court Monday.
